Muž s knírkem v tvrdém klobouku 1916

"Muž s knírkem v tvrdém klobouku" ("Man with a Mustache in a Hard Hat") is a 1916 portrait by Czech artist Josef Čapek. Known for his Cubist and Expressionist styles, Čapek's work often features simplified forms and bold colors. In this painting, the subject's face is rendered in flat planes of blue, with a single, vibrant orange stripe along the nose, creating a striking contrast. The use of sharp lines and minimal detail highlights the starkness of the figure and captures the essence of the individual rather than focusing on realism.
